SUMMARY:Federico García Lorca\, Flamenco\, and the Harlem Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:A Panel Discussion\n\n\nBefore the evening concert with Kiki Morente and Carlos de Jacoba\, join Sybil Cooksey\, José Javier León\, Noël Valis\, and moderator K. Meira Goldberg for a free panel discussion about Lorca’s legacy\, almost 90 years after his assassination during the Spanish Civil War. A queer poet who drew inspiration from (and continues to inspire) flamenco\, rooted in Gitano (Kalé\, Spanish Roma\, or so-called “Gypsy”) culture\, Lorca was also deeply impacted by the Black artists he encountered during his stay in New York at the height of the Harlem Renaissance. Still influential today is Lorca’s concept of duende\, a dark and mysterious aesthetic power\, which expresses a kind of tragic ecstasy for singer\, dancer\, and audience. \n \nFeaturing: Sybil Cooksey\, assistant professor at New York University and author of the forthcoming book The Objective I: Black Life Writing and Inauthenticity in Post-Negrophilia Paris; K. Meira Goldberg\, scholar-in-residence at the Foundation for Iberian Music\, a flamenco performer and choreographer\, and author of the award-winning monograph Sonidos Negros: On the Blackness of Flamenco; José Javier León\, a professor at Centro de Lenguas Modernas de la Universidad de Granada and author of numerous books related to Lorca\, including Finding Duende: Imagination\, Inspiration\, Evasion; and Noël Valis\, professor of Spanish and Portuguese at Yale University and author of the award-winning book Lorca After Life. \n \nFollowed by a Q&A.

SUMMARY:The Security of Identity Politics: The 2025 A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group Symposium
DESCRIPTION:This symposium will interrogate how different forms of A/P/A  identity politics both serve and challenge notions of security.\n\n\nPresented by the A/P/A Graduate Student Working Group. Hosted by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU. \nThis symposium will interrogate how different forms of Asian/Pacific/American identity politics both serve and challenge notions of security amid the intensification of the border crisis\, chauvinist populism\, and forever wars. On one hand\, representation-based identity politics offer security and comfort by widening membership into positions of power and privilege based on liberal capitalist promises of diversity. Concepts such as the model minority\, affirmative action\, and intersectionality have thus often been instrumentalized in the pursuit of defending and securitizing the existing political order against political challenges from both left and right. Alternatively\, “Asian/Pacific/American” is an illustrative example of how identity can both gather marginalized peoples and generate forms of solidarity\, knowledge\, and activism across different geographies and cultures beyond the pursuit of belonging and security. \nNYU campus access guidelines: This is an in-person event\, open to the public. Registration is required. Registration to attend on Thursday\, March 6 closes on Wednesday\, March 5 at 5:00 p.m. Registration to attend on Friday\, March 7 closes on Thursday\, March 6 at 5:00 p.m. \nAccessibility note: This venue has an elevator and is accessible for wheelchair users.

SUMMARY:Russia’s Pursuit of Repopulation: Abortion\, Large Families\, and Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:Through 1944 pronatalist Family Law and Putin’s pronatalist policy\, this talk identifies forces that affect the politics of reproduction.\n\n\nSix months after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine began\, in August 2022\, the Russian President Vladimir Putin revived the Soviet title of “Mother Heroine” for mothers with ten or more children. Originally the Soviet government had introduced this title as a part of its postwar pronatalist Family Law adopted in 1944. Putin has been committed to increasing fertility in Russia for over a decade and has gradually restricted women’s access to abortion. With this background in mind\, it may not seem surprising that he added one more measure from the post-WWII pronatalist toolkit when the “special military operation” threatened to accelerate the decrease in Russia’s population.However\, the revival of the Mother Heroine award signifies a slight\, but important shift. In general\, postsocialist pronatalism carefully adapted the pronatalist ideas from the Soviet period\, embracing some elements\, while rejecting others. One of the rejected measures was the postwar Soviet policy of “one-parent pronatalism\,” which made the father’s role in childrearing optional. Instead\, postsocialist pronatalism has promoted “two-parent pronatalism\,” which encouraged fathers to play an essential role in childrearing. This position manifested in the 2008 introduction of the “Parental Glory” title rather than reviving “Motherhood Glory” or “Mother Heroine.” The 2022 revival of Mother Heroine was a shift away from this earlier decision. How should we interpret this shift?Through a comparative analysis of the 1944 pronatalist Family Law and Putin’s pronatalist measures\, this talk attempts to identify both constant and shifting choices as well as forces that affect the politics of reproduction today. In addition to policymakers\, the talk will address the roles of women\, doctors\, and the Russian Orthodox Church. \n \nSpeakers: \nProfessor Mie Nakachi\, Global Studies at Hokusei Gakuen University \nRochelle Goldberg Ruthchild\, Historian and Davis Center Associate

SUMMARY:Altars Archives
DESCRIPTION:Artist\, organizer\, researcher\, and director Emilia Yang will offer strategies for decolonizing participatory art\, design and witnessing.\n\n\nPart of the 2024-25 ReMemory: Experiments in Listening\, Authorship and Knowledge-Keeping Series: \nAltars Archives: Strategies for Decolonizing Participatory Art\, Design and Witnessing  \nDrawing on my experience as a victim/survivor\, activist for memory\, artist\, designer\, and researcher\, I will share the process of creating AMA y No Olvida\, Memory Museum Against Impunity. This memory initiative was made in collaboration with the Association Mothers of April (AMA)\, a collective of families of victims of state violence organized in a context of authoritarian and brutal repression in Nicaragua.

Through this example\, I will share strategies for decolonizing participatory art\, design\, and witnessing through embodied practices. \nEmilia Yang (She/her/hers/ella) is an artist\, designer\, organizer\, researcher\, and director of “AMA y No Olvida\, Museum of Memory against Impunity” from Nicaragua. Her art practice utilizes expanded forms of expanded media for the creation of community-based feminist\, anti-racist\, and transformative justice projects and futures.  \nHer artworks have been exhibited in international spaces such as the Resistance Biennial in Guatemala\, the Legislative Assembly of Costa Rica\, the Museum of Jade and Pre-Columbian Culture in Costa Rica\, Casa América and the Museum and Vanguard Art Center Neomudéjar in Spain\, Le Commun Contemporary Art Building in Geneva\, and the Games and the New Media Summit at Tribeca Film Festival.  \nShe has been the recipient of multiple fellowships\, including the Arts for Gender Equality Fellowship by the Rockefeller Foundation and CARE USA in 2023 and the Hunting Family Faculty Fellow at U-M Institute of the Humanities in 2024. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Art and Design at the University of Michigan’s Penny W. Stamps School of Art and Design with a focus on Anti-Racism by Design. www.emiliayang.org \n \nAbout Incite at Columbia University \nIncite is an interdisciplinary social science research institute at Columbia University. \nOur mission is to create knowledge for public action—to catalyze conversations that lead to more just\, equitable\, and democratic societies. \nFor more information\, visit our site.

SUMMARY:Stand Up For Science\, Buffalo!
DESCRIPTION:We rally to defend science as a public good and pillar of social\, political\, and economic progress. (Reg. is for planning and not required.)\n\n\nOn March 7\, 2025\, we rally to defend science as a public good and pillar of social\, political\, and economic progress.  \nWe call on policymakers\, institutions\, and the scientific community to uphold the integrity of science\, protect its accessibility\, and ensure its benefits serve all people. To achieve this\, we seek the following policy actions. \n1. Secure and Expand Scientific Funding \nPublicly funded science drives innovation\, strengthens the economy\, and improves lives. We demand: \nRestoration of Federal Research Funding: Reinstate federal funding for scientific research across all disciplines to FY-2024 levels and commit a 20% increase in federal scientific funding over the next three years followed by annual increases indexed to inflation to ensure sustained scientific advancement.  \nReinstatement of Wrongfully Dismissed Federal Employees: Rehire all unlawfully terminated scientists and administrators at federal agencies (including NSF\, NIH\, CDC\, EPA\, NOAA\, NPS\, NWS\, FWS\, and FDA) with full back pay and benefits. \nRemoval of  the 15% cap on indirect funding for NIH-funded grants and reinstatement of indirect funding policies as they existed prior to January 1\, 2025.  \n2. End Censorship and Political Interference in Science \nScience thrives on open inquiry and evidence-based decision-making. We demand: \nAn End to Government Censorship: Prohibit all forms of political censorship in scientific research\, including restrictions on the topics of scientific research that are eligible for federal funding. \nRestoration of Public Access to Scientific Information: Restore all scientific data\, reports\, and resources on federal websites to pre-January 31st\, 2025 status\, ensuring full public access to primary scientific sources.  \nProtection of Research Independence: Mandate legal safeguards against political interference to preserve the integrity of federal research and communication. \nA Commitment to Freedom of Scientific Expression: Protect scientists’ rights to communicate their findings freely\, without fear of retaliation or suppression. \n3. Defend Diversity\, Equity\, Inclusion\, and Accessibility in Science \nScience is strongest when it includes everyone. Attacks on DEIA initiatives are attacks on science itself.  We demand: \nPreservation of Equitable Access to STEM: Maintain and expand federal programs that broaden participation in STEM training and careers. \nProtection for Minoritized Scientists: Enforce anti-discrimination protections for minoritized scientists to ensure equitable participation and impact. \nReinstatement of DEIA Initiatives: Restore all DEIA programs within federal agencies to pre-January 1\, 2025 status\, ensuring continued progress toward equity. \nScience is for everyone. Science keeps us safe\, and enables us to live longer\, healthier lives. We call on leaders at every level\, regardless of political affiliation\, to champion and protect scientific research\, education\, and communication—for the progress\, prosperity\, and well-being of all.
